Just four months after beating a murder or manslaughter rap in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman was arrested again. It all is sadly familiar.

Zimmerman’s girlfriend accused him of shattering a glass table, aiming a shotgun at her and forcing her from their home in Apopka, northwest of Orlando. And Zimmerman? Why, he said, it was the girlfriend’s fault.

She “went crazy,” he told sheriff’s deputies. Just like his ex-fiancee did when she accused Zimmerman of assault in 2005. Just like the police officer who tried to arrest Zimmerman for underage drinking in 2005.

And just like Trayvon Martin. He had no gun. Zimmerman had a gun. Martin wound up dead after Zimmerman confronted him. Yet Zimmerman said Martin was the aggressor.

Zimmerman’s story persuaded the jury. It also persuaded many members of the public. Critics said he got off only because Martin wasn’t around to tell his story. Even though Zimmerman didn’t invoke Florida’s ‘stand your ground’ law in his defense, the law was part of the jury instructions.

Some legislators have suggested changing the law to make clear that those who provoke a confrontation can’t use the law in their defense.

Supporters of the law have said Zimmerman’s actions were justified, so the law needs no change. But now we have another Zimmerman arrest.
